Immortality isn’t a feeling meant for human experience. There’s literature that gives you very rosy pictures – when you see the sun set in the ocean, you do feel immortal. When you see the brightest of stars in the vast black sky, you do feel immortal. But back to reality though – ageing, and by extension death, is absolutely guaranteed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s no debate. It’s a universal truth, and the world accepts it without issues – we have insurance schemes, retirement plans, YOLO (You Only Live Once) and a whole lot of other stuff. But, there are some folks who have trouble accepting the idea of ageing without issues. These people are working hard to rewrite the final chapter, to crack the code of mortality, to unlock the secrets of immortality. And they’re on the right track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we talk about human life extension, we need to know that immortality is a rather obscure and vague point to discuss. Going straight to the definition – immortality is simply a state where an individual cannot die. You cannot die of accidents, or cardiac arrests, even nuclear war – nothing. A state where an individual becomes resistant to both artificial and natural causes of death. That, unfortunately, is the equivalent of impossible at the moment. The natural causes will be looked upon, and are actually being worked upon, but when it comes down to artificial death causes such as accidents, war etc, probably we\u2019ve become too lethal for our own selves.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Digital Route<\/h2>\n\n\n
